Call for Paper | Special Issue, mda, Vignette Analysis: Methodology and Recent Developments

Liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen, hiermit möchten wir gerne auf den Call für das Special Issue zum Thema 'Vignette Analysis: Methodology and Recent Developments' in der Zeitschrift /methods, data, analyses/ aufmerksam machen. Alle Informationen sind weiter unten in der Mail oder unter https://mda.gesis.org/index.php/mda/announcement/view/6 zu finden! Wir freuen uns über Einreichungen und die Weiterleitung an interessierte Kolleg*innen. Beste Grüße, Stefanie Eifler, Hermann Dülmer und Lena Verneuer ********************************************************************************************* *_Call for Papers: Special Issue of /methods, data, analyses/_* *Vignette Analysis: Methodology and Recent Developments* *Guest Editors: * Dr. Lena M. Verneuer (RWTH Aachen University) Prof. Dr. Stefanie Eifler (Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt) PD Dr. Hermann Dülmer (University of Cologne) ** Vignettes have become an important tool in social science research to measure attitudes, normative judgments, and behavioural intentions. In general, vignettes are fictitious descriptions of a person or situation, which have to be judged or answered by the respondents. Drawing upon different disciplinary traditions, the term ‘vignette analysis’ embraces many different techniques that can be applied within the framework of non-experimental, quasi-experimental and experimental designs. As indirect measures used with non-experimental designs, vignettes allow for emphasizing situational aspects and are seen to solve problems of obtrusiveness and validity of direct measurements. Within the framework of the factorial survey approach, vignettes are combined with experimental designs (full-factorial or fractional). An important strength of factorial surveys is that by implementing them in surveys they allow for combining the high internal validity of experiments with the high external validity of surveys. In contrast to survey designs as they are typical for simple cross-sectional work, factorial surveys are full-fledged experiments and for this reason allow a strict test of causal relationships. Recently, several methodological challenges related to vignette analyses were addressed. Depending on theoretical and methodological objectives, the applied techniques vary in a broad range and lead to different and sometimes inconsistent results. Due to this diversity, findings on methodological and substantial issues can have different meanings and impacts for further research. Among these are for example the susceptibility of vignettes to social desirability, learning and fatigue effects and effects of order, variation, wording and presentation mode. Accordingly, the methodological challenges related to vignette analyses present a diverse field of research. This special issue chooses one way of anticipating this and aims at shedding light on the state of affairs by discussing recent developments and pooling new findings of projects that try to enrich the discussion. The focus of the call for papers is explicitly broad, and all contributions dealing with different analytical strategies or empirical designs that make use of factorial surveys or other vignette analyses are welcome. Papers matching one of the following aspects are cordially invited to be part of this special issue: -- comparison and discussion of design-related questions regarding methodological or substantive aspects, -- recent developments in measuring intentions with vignettes, - - theoretical ideas for modelling the relationship between intentions and behaviour for further empirical analyses, - - cross validation strategies (new approaches, replications), -- discussion of (dis-)advantages of vignette-designs, validations strategies and/or measures, - - issues of data-collection, - - substantive applications of factorial surveys ** *Submission procedure and timeline* If you are interested in submitting a manuscript to the mda special issue on “Vignette Analysis: Methodology and Recent Developments”, please upload your manuscript at https://mda.gesis.org/index.php/mda/about/submissions#onlineSubmissions following the guidelines of the mda until September 14, 2020.

CfP: Special Volume "Survey Methodology in Higher Education Research"
by de Vogel, Susanne 06 Jan '20

06 Jan '20

Dear colleagues, we are currently planning to publish a special volume on "Survey Methodology in Higher Education Research" in a refereed (German) journal. The volume is intended for researchers who conduct surveys in the field of higher education research and science studies within the framework of national education monitoring, research projects or evaluation studies. The subjects of higher education research are a special target group in many ways. So far, however, only little methodological research has been published specifically in the field of higher education research. With this special volume, we therefore aim on bringing together important findings of methodological research in order to enable the scientific community of higher education researchers to benefit from this expertise. We are particularly interested in contributions on the following topics: · Panel acquisition, both target groups and universities · Sampling and weighting · Survey experiments, e.g. on incentives, survey modes, timing and duration · Panel engagement, attrition and nonresponse · Cognitive pretesting of survey instruments; practice and findings · Measurement instrument development and validation, e.g. also in comparison of different disciplines, qualification levels or languages However, further topics dealing with survey methodological issues in higher education research are also welcome. Please send your abstract to Gesche Brandt g.brandt(a)dzhw.eu<mailto:g.brandt@dzhw.eu> or Susanne de Vogel devogel(a)dzhw.eu<mailto:devogel@dzhw.eu> by 28 February 2020. For further details, please refer to our Call for Papers: http://www.promoviertenpanel.de/pdf/cfp_surveymethoden_hochschulforschung If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us. We are looking forward to receiving your submissions.
